During May Brighton is bursting with life thanks to the Brighton Festival https://brightonfestival.org/ and Brighton Fringe https://www.brightonfringe.org/events/?

If you are up for a loosely organised amble around the town and some of its FREE performing arts events and laines and beachfront bars, please come along.   Timings below.

There is also a ticketed event in the fringe that I think would appeal and is at a sensible time: https://www.brightonfringe.org/events/the-flying-bubble-show/  The Flying Bubble Show.  And for which tickets  are available.  “Dive into The Flying Bubble Show, where dreams and reality blur in a breathtaking fusion of bubble magic and aerial flying.”  1pm;  standard ticket £14  concession £12.   Please buy your own ticket.   Or if you’d like me to book for you, let me know.   I have booked myself a ticket. 

Rough plan for the day:

Meet East Croydon 9.45am / buy rail tickets (Thameslink day return £15.50 before concessions)

09.59 Train to Brighton

10.48 Train arrives Brighton

11am to 12.30pm amble through North Laine area with its quirky shops and cafes

12.45 arrive at Fool’s Paradise, venue for, at 1.00pm, The Flying Bubble Show, see above

2.00pm  exit show and find lunch

3.00pm to 6.00pm amble beachfront and multiple FREE performance events (e.g. World Kiosk, Anchored in Air *, The Journey, Neolithic Cannibals: Deep Listening to the Unheard, Days of Wonder, Ooze Machines )

* For “Anchored in Air” the one show is at 2.30pm so we would have to work out where that venue is and hot foot it.

Then around 6.00pm we should have easy / takeaway food (e.g. fish and chips) and find somewhere to collapse for a drink – beachfront bar maybe.   Possibly a restaurant but that would be a major challenge to accommodate a group during a festival Saturday?

Then around 8.00pm, unless we have found another event to attend I think we will be happy to set off back home.

By all means explore the festival and fringe programme and suggest events we could go to.
